Description
This is a comprehensive collection of more than 60 new, newly-revised and classic readings on 14 contemporary moral debates. In addition to more familiar issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, preferential treatment, animal rights and the environment, the volume includes coverage of less familiar but equally important topics, such as immigration, political correctness, the use of drugs, the compensation of victims of crime, free speech, world hunger and economic justice. The book encourages the student to think critically about a wide range of practical moral issues. These features make it a useful text for introductory courses in ethics.

Media Reviews
.. . a good aid for introducing non-philosophers to ethical problems without over-simplifying matters. Of course, all philosophical texts are difficult for non-philosophers, but the level of difficulty in these texts is not extreme. Generally, it can be said that LaFollette has succeeded in finding texts that are not only representative but also accessible. Jan Jans, Ethical Perspectives
